My chicken Brownie...

My pet is a chicken called Brownie. She is called Brownie because is brown. She has a bright red crown on her head.  She is the colour of light golden brown with skin colour legs.  Brownie has beady black eyes and a little beak.

She is cute and soft and loves to eat grass.  If she finds a snail she eats the inside of the snail first.

She eats the shell by smashing it to pieces.  She only bites if she is angry, but not very hard.

Brownies needs... Brownie needs to drink lots of water every day and needs to eat special pellets every day to help lay good eggs.

She loves having a good dust bath in dirt and follows me around to see what I'm doing.

Hunting for circles...

We went round the school looking for circles.  We found lots of circles. We found a lock we thought it was 5cm but it was 4cm.  We found some nails we thought they were 0.5cm but it was really 1cm.

Then we went to the clock face centre, beside the scooter ramps.  We thought it was 5cm, but it was 13cm.  We looked at the tyres and we thought that they were 50cm, but they were 57cm.

Then we found a concrete circle we thought it was 30cm, but it was 31cm. Then there was a metal screw we found we thought it 2cm and we were right!

Our Amazing Playground: An Adventure theme

Our playground had an adventure theme.  In it we have a pool, flying fox, panda, dragon, igloo, seal maze, climbing wall, turtle and dolphin swings, snake water fountain and toilets. The seal maze you can go through the maze or climb on the seal. The swings are called turtle and dolphin swings because there is a dolphin and a turtle. There is an igloo that has snow falling from the top, but it is actually white foam falling from the top of the igloo. There is a panda sculpture that you have to go through the mouth and look out its eyes.

Exploring Geometric Shapes...Day One

Day One - Task to make a 3D shape using a net.  What is a net?  How do you make a 3D shape that looks like the shape it is meant too?

Caitlyn, Tasman and Maisie went and thought of some tips you could use when making 3D shapes.

Do you know what this shape is?

The Fuppet Documentary

We made fuppet’s for the fuppet’s documentary 'Return of the Nits. We entered the MADE AWARDS. The whole class helped and we helped each other. We made the fuppets out of fabric. We got to choose our own colours and accessories. We love our fuppets and we took photos of them.

We got to take them home after we had our fuppet assembley. We had lots of fun with our fuppets at home. We feel proud of ourselves and we love our hard work. When we had to put our arms up with our fuppets our arms got tired. When we were in assembly we felt better. When we made our fuppets we were excited and nervous. We needed a bit of help and we loved making our fuppets!

Venetian Mask: Caitlyn

It was very exiting painting a mask. My mask was red. It has gold bells that jingel like wind chimes.
